[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Highly Gifted students are different from advance students.  They are in many ways special needs students who will do well with being with a cohort of like-ability students.

Now, Metis and MCPS can continue to do what they want to do, but the achievement gap can never be bridged in this country.  The reason is that MCPS cannot change the parents that the low achieving group students have, nor can they change the educational level and cultural habits of these parents.

The only way AA achievement gap can be filled is by importing Black families from Africa and other countries. They are the only group of Black students who are doing well.

Actually, the achievement gap can be narrowed if the schools are allowed to do more. Instead of just giving bad grade when students don't do their homework, teachers can force the students stay at school until all homeworks are done. Instead of just offering remedial classes in summer, make it a requirement for those who had a gpa 2.5 or lower. You can't make everything voluntary and let the parents to decide if the whole point is to make up what is lacking from the parents. [/quote]
